In a decisive showdown in Week 11 of the 2026 season, the Miami Dolphins topped the Buffalo Bills with a final score of 42-21, solidifying their position in the playoff race. The victory not only showcased Miami's offensive prowess but also dealt a blow to Buffalo's playoff aspirations. Malik Willis led the charge for Miami, throwing for three touchdowns while racking up significant yardage. The Dolphins' ground game was bolstered by a balanced attack, but it was Buffalo's James Cook III who stole the show with an impressive 124 rushing yards. DJ Moore also had a standout performance for the Bills, amassing 150 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Miami's high-scoring offense. Defensively, the Dolphins made crucial plays that shifted the momentum in their favor, highlighted by Jacob Rodriguez's interception that halted a potential Buffalo scoring drive. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Miami's defense, led by Lonnie Johnson Jr.'s four tackles, stifled the Bills' attempts to close the gap. Despite Greg Rousseau's two sacks for Buffalo, the Dolphins' defense held firm, ultimately sealing the game and ensuring a comfortable victory.
